10 Responses to the Phrase “Man Up”

That was pretty good, read the whole thing. My favorite:

I want to be free, to express myself. Man up. I want to have meaningful, emotional relationships with other men. Man up. I want to be weak sometimes. Man up. I want to be strong in a way that isn’t about physical power or dominance. Man up. I want to cry if I feel like crying. Man up. I want to ask for help. Man up. I want to be who I am. Man up.

"Man Up" is code for "fuck how you feel. conform to your traditional gender role"

Stolen from a redditor. Short and straight to the point, I like it.
